The video his actual son is featured. It is about his desire to be a good dad as you can see. I guess he and his wife were separated/ divorced. And in the video it shows her new BF being a real... well jerk. And I think the bridge is saying "I will protect you son no matter where you are." I shall analyse as to what I think lol.
"You could be my someone
You could be my scene"- You can be my pride and joy
"You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene"- I will protect you from any dismay (as you see in the video the fights)
"I wonder what your doing
Imagine where you are"- I wonder if you are ok
"There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far"- If you are in trouble I will be there to comfort you.
Understand thats only MY interpretation. But I think it is somewhat close. But even though this song IS about his son there is no doubt. I had heard that from a reliable source.
I think your interpretation is spot on. I'd like to add the chorus, my favorite part of the song:
"Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it in my face"
Having had lets just say an abusive dad during my early childhood, I see it as the young father talking to his dad, as he is deeply scared by what he did while he was so young and defenceless ( this determines him to be a great dad).
My dad has somewhat changed but he feels I hate him and he cannot comprehend why I can't forgive him for things he...

My dad has somewhat changed but he feels I hate him and he cannot comprehend why I can't forgive him for things he did so long ago and all I want to answer him is these 2 lines.
